ES Troyes Aube Champagne have beaten a number of other Ligue 1 clubs to the loan signature of Paris Saint-Germain FC striker Laurent Leroy.
Recent talks
A player reportedly coveted by AC Ajaccio, Lille OSC and OGC Nice, the 26-year-old Leroy has joined Troyes until the end of the season after negotiating a move last night with the club's coach, Faruk Hadzibegic, and director Alain Plet following PSG's 1-0 victory against Le Havre AC.
Following Benachour
Leroy joined the Parisian club in 1999 but has failed to establish himself as a regular at the Parc des Princes. He is the second PSG player to join Ligue 1's bottom club after the talented Tunisian Selim Benachour signed a six-month contract just over a week ago.
